I am using the "add by file/folder" option. It scans all the files and says it is reviewing the tags. It then gives me a nice list of all the albums with the correct artist and album title. I then tick the box to download information from the Internet and click next.

This is where it goes hopelessly wrong. It is asking me to intervene for EVERY album, choosing from a list of albums. In some instances other than the number of tracks I cannot tell the difference between them, but much worse is that most of the options are not even the same artist. The ID Tags are fine and clearly have the artist and title correctly formed.

Here is a screenshot of what it shows for a Mylo album...notice how the first item isn't even Mylo!

Then here is a screenshot of one of the music files ID tag information showing that there is nothing wrong with the embedded information

I can't sit there selecting for every one of the albums. Why is not automating the additions as it should?

But.....
Surely this can be made more intelligent? In my screenshot example, the ID tags for the track show that the artist is Mylo so why is the first option in the list of choices "Big In Japan". It seems it is going from album title only and not artist. If you used both information you could reduce the options and the "choose first in list" would be right more of the time?

We are considering this right now, so we may add the feature to improve downloading information for this situation.

Thank you Vlad...I am very happy to hear you are considering it. I am also thinking you can determine the number of tracks from the ID tags and match that to the online options too. For example often I see the same Artist/Album and the only difference is the number of tracks because perhaps the UK release has 12 tracks, but US release has 14 (e.g. bonus tracks). So I am not sure if you could match that aspect too. But at least the Artist/Album combination would be a massive improvement.
